Jig Man

If you leave them plugged in you should unplug your trolling motor or throw your main power switch if you have one.

I have extra reels not extra rods. I keep 6 extra spinning reels just in case and 2 Curado 5:1 bait casters for winter time Arigs.

I usa a Curado E7 most of the time on it but switch to a 5 for the Arig.

Some on setups that I don’t use a lot is very good for a year especially 12 and 15 # test. On setups I use most every trip I get several months out of it. It is still strong but gets a lot of memory. I have had a lot of trouble with 6# not lasting so I have changed to Youzri Hybrid for that.

I use mine for jigging spoons and Arigs.

I use Elaztech worms from Strike King and Zman. My favorite color is green pumpkin but I use several on each trip looking for the best bite. My heads are homemade, some standard jig heads, some screw locks and some my leggy stand up jigs. The weights are from 1/8 oz to 3/8 oz with hook sizes from 2/0 to 4/0 depending on the type and amount of cover.

I rarely see smallies on my units.

That depends on where you are located and where you fish. Around here most every shop can work on Mercs, many on Yammys and few if any on Suzukis.

A 1/2 oz jigging spoon is tied on a setup all of the time. It will work anywhere in the water column.

I used to buy a lot from them (I knew the owners). Since they sold the place and new owners took over I haven’t been back. I hope that they are as good as they were before.

There are lots of big pleasure boats in that area until the weather gets cooler.

I normally have fluorocarbon on 18 setups, now only 13 since I put Yozuri on my 5 Ned setups. I don’t have any trouble and don’t use any conditioner on the fluorocarbon.

I use a heat gun on the high setting. I warm up the gun and meticulously count the seconds that it is in contact with the jig head. I don’t want mine hot enough to make the powder shiny. I just want a dull coat that sticks. That gives me a very thin coat which won’t run when baked in my $2 garage sale toaster oven.

Might it be a hormonal thing connected with feeding activity?

Never having a Cabela’s within 200 miles of me I have always worn Red Head and Columbia shirts from BPS. They have very serviceable.

You might contact a local rod builder and see about getting a custom built just the way you want it.

The Sun Flower has a dock. There are lots of places but I don’t know any other names.

One of my friends is a service tech at the local Chevy dealership. I trust him and take my trucks to him when they need work or service. I hate working on knuckle buster stuff.

X2. I had a custom made for shaky. It is way better than the other rods that I have been using and was in the same price range.

I did have but donated to a high school fishing team.

About half of my jigs are brown or black living rubber.

I sometimes drag fish and mine got in the way. I also discovered that they didn’t get down far enough for most of the way that I fish.

That is reserve capacity, isn’t it.
